Intensely-flavoured fruit; completion of fermentation and maturation in new oak; expressing a Penfolds understanding of multivineyard, multi-region fruit sourcing. Bin 707 was first vintaged in 1964. The wine was not made from 1970 to 1975 nor in 1981, 1995, 2000, 2003 or 2011. Full-bodied and with proven cellaring potential, Bin 707 retains a secure place among the ranks of Australia’s finest cabernets.

An immediate, intense lift of pure ripe blackcurrant fruit, laced with mint and the faintest suggestion of violet. Cigar box and fresh tobacco oak notes showcase the sheer fruit quality. Although youthful, the nose already shows true 707 character.

Powerful and complete. Saturated fruits have soaked up the new oak culminating in a rich, sweet mid-palate and long stylish finish. The depth of fruit and defined structure, coupled with obvious muscular tannins.

Reviews

Ripe and heady aromas of cassis, mulberries and dark plums, with aromas of violets, cedar, vanilla and chocolate cigarboxy oak are lightly jammy. Ripe, smooth and sumptuous; long, soft and approachable. Squashy blackcurrants and blackberries are tightly knit with firm, powder-fine tannins and smoky, creamy, coconut American oak, finishing long and savoury. A very good wine, unusually approachable for Bin 707, and faster to mature than most.
“Rumbling dry tannins with earthy ripeness of fruit.” Awarded by Rewards of Patience tasting panel in 2020.
